Reality Check
TLDR
Singapore pays well by APAC standards and taxes are low. But housing costs rival London and schooling is expensive if you have kids.
How to Earn More
- 1.Learn automation deeply (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress) — manual QA is a dead end salary-wise
- 2.Move into SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test) — it pays 25-40% more than traditional QA
- 3.Specialize in performance or security testing — niche QA skills command premium rates
